Why not combine the two and have the most Liz and Dick Cyber Monday ever? Put down those qualms and pick up that credit card and also an "alcohol bottle" full of non-descript clear liquid (for sponsorship reasons). Get me Aristotle Onassis! We're going shopping.

Item 1: 8 Wedding Dresses

There is probably no better time to buy wedding dresses in bulk than cyber Monday, and with your commitment and self-esteem issues, you're going to need a lot of them. Liz Taylor was married eight times to seven different dicks. With the Wedding Shoppe's online promotion, you can buy one wedding gown priced at $1000 and get $400 off your next purchase: another wedding gown.
(There's a sliding scale of bargains if you are poor, but feel you deserve to get married anyway.)Savings: $400

Item 2: Endless Cigarettes

Lindsay Lohan spent 99% of Liz and Dick smoking a cigarette on screen, and she only appeared in 90% of the scenes. Who has time to relight all those cigarettes? With the 40% off EVERYTHING discount at the Veppo electronic smoking alternative online store, you won't need time. Only a glass of vodka and some goddamn privacy.Savings:$40, if you decide to go H.A.M.

Item 3: So Many Pills

Nothing spells campy fun like a botched suicide attempt, and that's just what viewers got when Lindsay's Liz tried to off herself with a fistful of dolls. Want to stage your own fake-suicide but hate the hassle of waiting in line? Get free shipping on 5 bottles of Bayer Aspirin from Kmart. Taylor may have struggled with her weight later in life, but there's no reason your blood can't be thin.Savings: You being seen in a Kmart

Item 4: Cinema Choice Movie Theater-Style Popcorn Popper

Microwaves are low-class. Not fit for a picture star such as yourself. Buy this movie theatre-style popcorn popper onsale at CVS, and let your kids play with it after you pass out drunk on their birthdays, the *pop! pop! pop!* a jarring staccato to punctuate their wails.Savings: $11.11

Item 5: Applause and Fame

What could be better than a rapt audience bursting into applause as you glide onstage to teach an "adorably good-natured orphan and her canine companion teach the world that perseverance and unwavering hope can change lives" (in a walk-on role on Broadway's Annie)? That PLUS a $500 Neiman Marcus giftcard. Both can be yours today for the low, low price of $30,000.Savings: $500

Item 6: Cute Dog Coat

Richard Burton's elder brother Ifor became paralyzed after slipping and falling while at the actor's house in Switzerland. Burton blamed himself for the accident, and sought solace at the bottom of a bottle. This Pet Life Vintage Aspen Ski Dog Coat with Removable Hood is half price at Petsmart.com!Savings: $19.99

Item 7: Gloves to Hide your Ham Hands

Lifetime legend has it that Elizabeth Taylor asked Richard Burton to buy her a giant diamond ring to make her pudgy hands look smaller (though this would, paradoxically, also draw attention to them). Hide your fat hands deep inside these luxurious J. Crew gloves, made from the leather of a frightful little pig. Use the code: MONDAY to score 25% off.Savings: $82

Item 8: Furry Hats and Puffy Nips

One of the most noteworthy fashion decisions Liz and Dick's costumers made, apart from getting as much of Lindsay's boobs as possible into every scene, was to place Liz Lohan in a succession of giant furry hats. (You can see a couple clips of them in Rich's highlight reel.) Thanks to Urban Outfitters $15 off $75 Cyber Monday promotion, you can have as many furry hats as the stars playing the stars. Buy this one in blue and yellow. To bump your order up over $75, add this "Staring at Stars Clip Dot Blouse" and don't wear it with a bra. Haha, you go girl-watch yourself.Savings: $15, plus free shipping
